Greetings fellow felines. I, Sgt Stripes, have some very exciting news! I have been chosen as Mr. October for the PawPrint 2024-2025 Calendar. It features the picture at the top of this page. They are based in Dallas, Texas. A portion of everything they sell goes to animals: donations to animal shelters, animal food banks, assisting families with medical expenses, supporting spay/neuter clinics, and adoption/foster expenses.
With apologies to Neil Sedaka, my family has adapted his Calendar Girl into a song about me:
I love, I love, I love my calendar cat:
Yeah, sweet gray tabby cat
I love, I love, I love my calendar cat
Each and every day of the year
(January) up to my paws in snow
(February) adoring stares where I go
(March) Cat TV returns and I smile
(April) the Easter Bunny comes and brings me treats
Yeah, yeah, I have tabby fur!
I love, I love, I love my awesome calendar pic!
Every day (October) every day (October)
Of the year
(‘Specially October)
(May) Cat TV is on at night, all right!
(June) the glow of the moon lights the plants in bloom
(July) loud sky booms make me hide from the glows
(August) it’s hot and muggy but I don’t mind heat
Yeah, yeah, I have tabby fur!
I love, I love, I love my awesome calendar pic!
Every day (October) every day (October)
Of the year
(‘Specially October)
Yeah, yeah, I have tabby fur!
I love, I love, I love my awesome calendar pic!
Every day (October) every day (October)
Of the year
(‘Specially October)
(September)Autumn comes and leafs leap from all the trees
(October) I’m October’s Calendar Cat Supreme!
(November) We’ll give thanks that the humans have me
(December) I get presents ‘neath the Christmas tree
Yeah, yeah, I have tabby fur!
I love, I love, I love my awesome calendar pic!
Every day (October) every day (October)
Of the year
(‘Specially October)
I love, I love, I love my calendar cat
Yeah, sweet gray tabby cat
I love, I love, I love my calendar cat
Each and every day of the year
To help celebrate, we are going to send a copy of the calendar to two lucky winners. All you have to do is rewrite one verse of the song. I will pick the winners myself from the entries. (They’re going to put the entries on the floor, and the two that I step on first will win.) You can either respond in the comments or email it to cat9984@ymail.com. The deadline is Friday, May 31, 2024, at midnight. Unfortunately, it is only open to humans with USA or Canadian addresses.
